Remember the reason for the season is Jesus! Ready to provide popcorn enjoyment over the next week or so... Considering a couple possible trades for the '86 cj-10a: - 2002 Subaru legacy with a new engine... eh... not exciting, not likely... - a few cash + gun offers but not as interesting as the Luv setup, - 1981 Chevy Luv 4x4 Diesel with SVO conversion and cash - considering strongly. has 100k on engine. the '89 Cherokee Limited title is in... have had a few low cash offers... holding out to get a better price, may fix the remaining issues... we'll see. It's a very nice rig... $175 for the windshield and few other tweaks and it'll be really nice... runs out great after the TPS was replaced. the 2002 Grand Cherokee with the blown 4.0 is slowly coming apart, 28k replacement 4.0 from a 2004 rubicon is sitting next to it... weather is mild, should have time to finish! Will be a nice rig, leather seats... clean... need some more tools to make it come apart though... need some wobbly sockets. ;) the '91 300D needs a glow plug or two and a new alarm system... should probably check the oil too... ;) the '99 WJ is doing fine, but at some point should get some attention and be driven... love that 4.7L V8, until the fuel gauge swings the wrong way. ;) the '83 J10 stepside is still waiting for the SD33T/TF727/NP208 to be installed... very, very slow progress(??), waiting, waiting, waiting... been apart since 2001... oh, it's so close... I can feel it... I believe, I believe... let's see... did I cover all the vehicles??? am also considering the crazy idea of buying a '69 Gladiator with a 6.2L Diesel and 4 speed... but if I get the Luv 4x4 in trade I'll resist that urge... still hoping that my '83 J10 stepside will be done and I won't have to make do with an odd assortment of Diesels. ;) Sure, I know, that won't stop me from dragging home other projects... it's in my blood... :) enjoy... john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 http://creationwiki.org http://johnmeister.com http://wagoneers.com http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Dec 2009 23:41:49 -0800 (PST) From: diesel john Subject: xj: Merry Christmas preliminary pictures of the glowplugs on the '91 300D: http://johnmeister.com/DieselBenz/TECH/124-series/124-2.5L-glowplugs/ALL.html Saturday starts more wrenching... alarm system swap on the 300d, then the 4.0 swap on the WJ... a bit more work on the '89 XJ... may be putting the '86 cj-10a back to stop form for a trade... we'll see. have had some nice clear weather, snow on the mountains, late afternoon sun: http://fotomeister.us/2009/12-Dec-23-afternoonCascades/ALL.html http://fotomeister.us/2009/12-Dec-24-afternoonCascades/ALL.html http://fotomeister.us/2009/ http://fotomeister.us/2009/12-Dec-15-FIRST_FLIGHT_787/ Merry Christmas... remember, Jesus is the reason for the season! john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 http://creationwiki.org http://johnmeister.com http://wagoneers.com http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ End of xj-digest V1 #3128 *************************
